When you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, there’s nothing more satisfying than staying in and treating yourself to a DIY pedicure. Not only is an at-home pedi relaxing, but all of your strappy sandals, high heels and open toe shoes will look incredible.
A French manicure/pedicure is the most requested style for its neat and stylish look. You might think achieving the perfect French pedicure at home is impossible, but with the right tools you can get a salon-worthy result from the comfort of your own living room.
So, what are you waiting for? Cancel your plans, pick a great rom-com on Netflix, and treat yourself!

Remove old polish
First up, remove any old polish from your toes. The Mavala Switzerland Polish Remover Pads will leave your nails clean and polish-free.
Soak and scrub
In a large bowl of warm water, allow your feet to soak for a few minutes. Give them a scrub with The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Pumice Foot Scrub to get your feet smooth and soft.
Push those cuticles back
Gently push back your cuticles with a Manicare Cuticle Stick to prepare the nail bed.
Massage in a foot cream
For super soft feet, massage them with Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Crème, concentrating on dry areas.
Trim your nails
Using the Davinci Nail Clipper, trim all of your nails to your desired length. This clipper has an in-built nail catcher, making it easy to use wherever you are.
Base coat
Before you start to polish, apply Revitanail Base Coat to help your pedicure look smoother and last longer.
Apply your French pedicure
Using the Manicare Flawless French Manicure Kit, follow the steps and apply the polish to your toenails in the same way you would to your fingernails. The tip tapes included in the kit make it so easy to get a perfect, professional-looking French pedi!
I would definitely go for the foot cream and base polish.
